Beyond the planets
What’s this?Close
Points read beside the planets. The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute of birth: the first impression. The Midheaven is the highest point of the sky: career and public life. The North Node is where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s: the direction a life grows in. Chiron, a small body between Saturn and Uranus, is a lifelong sore spot and the gift it leaves for others. Black Moon Lilith, where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth, is what a person keeps untamed.
North Node in Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
20°01′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
14°01′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
21°32′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his heart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Venus, Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Aspects by strength
What’s this?Close
An aspect is a set angle between two bodies in the sky at birth. Some angles flow, some rub, and some fuse two bodies into one. The number is how far the angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the link.
Only the aspects that held from the first minute of the day to the last are shown; each figure is for noon.
Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.3°
He kept adjusting what he wanted from people to fit the life he was growing into.
Uranus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.
Venus conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.
The Moon trine Mercury close at 1.0°
Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
Jupiter opposition North Node close at 2.1°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
